Good move: Romney and Obama scrub campaign events ahead of hurricane sandy

This was a smart move on both campaign accounts and I will tell you why.

But first the story via ABC News’s Blog, The Note:

AVON LAKE, OHIO – Mitt Romney’s campaign has canceled fifteen events over the course of several days as national attention turns toward Hurricane Sandy. Romney told a crowd in this critical swing state that the storm is a time for Americans to come together.

“We’ve faced these kinds of challenges before and as we have it’s interesting to see how American’s come together and this, this looks like another time when we need to come together all across the country, even here in Ohio, and make sure that we give our support to the people who need it,” Romney said to a crowd of thousands gathered in a school gym to hear him speak.

President Obama has also cancelled campaign stops. He returned to Washington D.C. Monday. Instead of attending a rally in Florida with former President Bill Clinton, Obama briefly spoke from the White House and told Americans to listen to local authorities during the storm. In total, Hurricane Sandy has forced the cancellation of 27 campaign events between the two campaigns.

The reason I believe that this was incredibly smart, on the part of both campaigns is this right here: If you are in the area where this hurricane is about to strike; the last thing you want to hear is two guys arguing over who should be President. Plus, it would be perceived as downright slimy of any campaign; Republican or Democrat — to try and cash in politically on a natural disaster. 

Romney and Obama both are doing the right thing by telling everyone to come together and ride the storm out. It is a good political move.

Oh, and another thing; Hey, Gingrich, Shut the hell up, you opportunistic jackass! This stupid bullshit right here, is why you are not, nor will you EVER be a candidate for President of the United States!  If you remember, I did, at first, support this jackass for President; until he pulled a boneheaded move of playing the Jew-Card against Romney — not to mention the fact that his so-called documentary that was a hit piece on Romney was riddled with errors.

Way I see it; if Gingrich cannot do any better than that; he ought to just stay out of the goddamned election. Sorry, I just absolutely loathe those who use Hurricanes and other such of misfortune of others to score political points.
